Rainy Side Notes

Of all the primroses, Primula florindae is the most fragrant of them all with a wonderful nutmeg scent. It is the largest
of the primroses, as well as the latest in the season to flower. Himalayan plant explorer Frank Kingdon-Ward named this primrose after his wife Florinda.

Imagine a problem wet area in your garden, planted with the giant Gunnera manicata and sweeps of Giant cowslip at their feet. Add a few Japanese iris for a spikey contrast and you have the makings of a beautiful bog garden. All these plants are perfectly suited to grow
in boggy conditions. Problem solved! P. florindae can be grown in regular garden conditions as long as supplemental water is given during our annual summer drought.
